They use t mobile network, a great deal! highly recommend!

I bought this item at Best Buy on behalf of a wireless firm. I do not know what value to Best Buy I am able to give. I bought it online, had it delivered to your store and picked it up. That is all the contact I had.

Instead of adding a 4th line under my TMobile plan, I opted to use a prepaid new line and test out Mint Mobile. This is for business purposes, not a personal phone so calls will be to/from clients. I activated the new number and used an existing iPhone SE (2020) and the SIM card-by-mail. Activation on the reset iPhone SE was easy, but a big problem we did not anticipate is CALLER ID. The old owners' names associated with our new phone number show up in caller ID when placing calls. Plus, we are already getting text spam for yet another prior owner of the phone number. So "new numbers" issued by Mint are old TMobile numbers, recycled and not "fresh" as Mint said they were. After a gruelling 90-min with non-US-based tech support , they eventually figured out that they could activate a caller ID name change (takes up to 3 days) to read "Wireless Carrier" for the caller ID. Unfortunately they cannot apply any names, which is not their fault but based on network limits. Since everyone screens their calls and text messages relying on Caller ID, this may be a short-lived "new line" with Mint. ;(

Ordered online. Arrived like they said it would. Customer service with Mint Mobile was excellent.

As long as you own a decent phone this plan is the best. No obama phones work.

Amazing Great Deal Excellent Pricing Mint Mobil is the best

Works well enough, though makes sure that you have wifi to download the app to make it work initially

My experience with MINT Mobile has been a nightmare. I signed up on a Sunday afternoon because their website made it seem that I'd be able to use their service right away with an eSIM (my phone supports it, an unlocked Pixel 3a - I have since checked other carriers with IMEI and EID numbers). But alas the first eSIM (activation starts with V7J1E) did not work. Called them the first time right away (4pm) and they inform you they will send another eSIM, which might take 24 to 48 hours (hello?), but really up to 4 hours. I waited 3 hours and no new eSIM,. so called again around 7pm sunday and they said the order was in, should get the email within a couple of hours. Around 9PM I got the second eSIM email (activation code starts with FBW7A), went through the installation steps without my physical SIM from the prior carrier in the phone this time as they advised by last called person (even though email instructions say otherwise) but installation had the same errors. Called again, 9:30 PM EST. This person took my IMEI number (if this was an important piece of the puzzle, why didn’t the FIRST person ask), and said upon checking that my phone shows as “locked” and advised me to call the prior carrier and Google. This made no sense to me since I’ve had this phone since 2019 - bought unlocked - and have had several different SIMs work on it seamlessly, even in other countries, but since they were a brick wall and their call center closes at 10pm EST I was stuck. Monday morning I started by calling the prior carrier (Ting) and they confirmed it was never locked. In fact, Ting was very easy to port out from, they have the info available on their web site - contrary to Mint, I’ll get to that. I then called Google from where I bought the Pixel and they also confirmed the phone was not locked, they showed me how to reset network options. I did that and tried again the eSIM from MINT but it still got the same error. Google said I could try a factory reset, but nothing else they could do. So around 11 AM Monday morning I’m back on the phone with Mint, their solution: another eSIM - but not without that pesky 3 hour wait. It arrived around 2PM (activation code starts with PYJYW). This time before trying by myself I called them to have them “help me”. On the phone they are very polite and solicitous but her help was instead of scanning the QR code, to type the info instead (I knew this wasn’t any better BUT no point in arguing with them). Again it didn’t work. Silly me, I had mentioned that Google said I could do a factory reset, so that was what they told me to do - even though this is a “nuclear” option. Since I was desperate to get my phone working, I went for it. She then resent an email and the activation code of this 4th email was the same eSIM from before, but it again did not work. Now I’m furious, having reset my phone and still no phone number working - so now I ask to port my phone out and this is what gets you a supervisor (go figure!). She says to port out they need to enter a ticket and AGAIN SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BACK IN 4 HOURS just to give you the Account number and PIN, so they basically hold your phone number hostage. I was afraid of losing my phone number and asked for a physical SIM and at first they wanted to charge me $9.95 for it (seriously??), but the supervisor hearing my frustration said they would “cover that cost”, how nice of them, and that I’d get the email with the tracking number. Tuesday morning. No email. I call them and she assures me that the physical SIM has been ordered. Coincidentally a few minutes later I got the email about the SIM card being shipped. That email was about the order and said another email would come with the tracking number after it shipped within 24 to 48 hours, so I just waited for the next email. Wednesday afternoon, I got an email at 4pm that the SIM arrived, and yes, a FEDEX envelope was at my door with it. I immediately called and the person said they could not activate it, because I never had the number work with them before. She created a Level 2 ticket, saying I would simply receive an email when everything was just active and working. I literally asked her if they had the number on my account of the SIM that was shipped to me and she said not to worry, they were all set. I went about my life (since I had been trained by them to wait at least 4 hours for anything to happen), but when I checked my email around 8:30 PM I saw messages from missed calls from the number I’d been calling them from. Since I don’t have my actual phone I’ve been calling them from a voice phone that works from the computer, I never hear it ring and it was not the contact number I left with them - UGH!). The message said they could not work on my level 2 ticket because they did not have the bar code number from the physical SIM. UGH!!!!!! Now I call them again around 8:30. I demand to talk to one of those L2 people but they don’t budge, their Level 1 people are worse than talking to an AI. He takes the bar code number and opens another L2 ticket. I told him I'd like it working before their call center closes at 10 pm EST and he said he escalated. He assures me someone will call me and I’ll have the activation email that night. I sit by my husband's phone and computer until 10:30 PM and hear nothing back. Thursday, 8:30 AM. I called and gave them the second L2 ticket. She says the phone has actually been activated around 8:30 pm the day before - so why did I not get an email? And yes, now I insert the physical SIM and it is working with my phone number. I’m relieved. What would be fair at this point? Mint has a 7 day return policy from activation date, so I request that my activation date be reset to 9/28, since I was basically 5 days without a phone. No can do from them. I’m too tired to fight so I let it go. Since this was traumatizing I will probably stick with them the 3 months, but will be looking to move for sure. Bottom line, they do have “humans” answer the phone, they are trained to be extremely polite but unfortunately, they either don’t know what they are doing or are not given the agency or tools to do anything that strays even a little bit out of simple requests. I don’t envy their job. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

Great, it was a good buy! I was in NYC for Job and it was a great option to be comunicated!

This is a great service for your phone and has great internet

I experienced all kinds of mvno. Mint is by far the best Prepaid plan, period. Does not require APN setup. You can pop in any phone it will work right away. The money I saved vs post paid is jaw dropping.

Bought the 3 mo promo deal on assurances my phone was 'Rockstar' for Mint service. I stuck it out for a month, now I'm back with Cricket & a nice new complementary phone to boot. I was never unhappy with Cricket but decided the price was right to try Mint. Here's why I didn't even want my last two months with them: I couldn't even send a picture in MMS. But I could receive them from others. Spotty or slow service/signal. Annoying texts from them at 3am just to tell me how many days left on the plan, etc. That IRRITATING Fox character not only does the commercials but answers the phone. Their website & app are horrible & the customer support chat is useless ( oh yeah, cutesy Fox is there too, telling you he'll have 'an adult get back to you on that'). You cannot even get your account # online. They make you call in for that - during regular business hours. I suppose it's an effort to dissuade dissatisfied customers from porting over to new carriers. The one credit I'll give is that the actual humans I spoke to we're all very helpful. But it didn't change the crappy cell/data service.

Mint has great service. Very satisfied with Mint Mobile. Dont buy your starter kit from Best Buy. If for some reason you need to return they will NOT refund you. If you buy directly from Mint Mobile they will refund you with no problem. Its a lot easier dealing with Mint. Ive had other issues with returns at Best Buy. Not worth the hassle dealing directly with Best Buy.

While my family has been using Mint Mobile for years and loves it, I have not had such an experience. I have a Samsung S22 Ultra and Mint is inconsistent with whether or not I'll get group chat messages. I would say 70% of the time I get the messages, but that 30% of the time is quick annoying. So I call into support and they can't do anything for me. They claim everything is fine on their side, so it must be the settings on my phone. But I haven't changed the settings from when I was on another plan with T-Mobile (Mint's carrier) and had no issues. I even talked with Samsung support and they confirmed my settings are correct. So there's nothing anyone can do. The only difference is I'm using Mint.

Great price for great cell phone service. Would recommend getting unlimited if you use a lot of data.

Im excited i was thrilled and happy im glad i went to a professional thanks everyone ☺️.

Good Could buy again if needed. I am writing more as I am required to.
